Supermaxx Lightning discontinued?
 

The Supermaxx Lightning is not on the site anymore. Is it discontiued? Anyone know why?

It looks like it!

though i found a company in Germany that still sells them.

Robin may make more in the future. Right now he is putting his efforts " money" into the Razorback.

Probably he knew some hw that the lightning chassis wont be selling very good because the FLM chassis has arrived with a very low and affordable prices. Who knows?!:)

:L: You are kidding right?:L: Uh..... no... HOwever Robin is perfecly aware of the power of brushless and it is more likely that you will see a brushless version of tthe RAZORback............Woo Hoo...

Well, hope him best of luck.:)

:eek: Here it comes: A Razorback chassis (single-shaft 2-speed center diff) modified for BL/Lipo, with G2R front/rear ends! OMG what a daydream!

CHeck out this video of the Razor. . Thats what I am talking about!:cool:

Yeah, here's the chassis:

And here's the diff:

It is nice to dream isn't it.

Is this something real or just a concept?

That needs to be electric. End of.

Well, is it gonna come out any time soon.

No.

Is it something relating to the e-maxx?

Yea right, it supposed to be out for 2 year's allready.

IF it will be out, it will be a limited edition and be expensive. As well as limited part supply.

Don't hold your breath on this. I deffinatly think it rock's and if the price is right i'll get one. But it can take a while before being sold.

No sense in getting you hopes up there Capt. .This thing has been in the planning stages for a very long time. There have been a few proto-type generations that where released to a select few by invitation only. Many people hope that they will become available to us commoners before the arthritis sets in.:L:
Look away folks there is nothing to see here.:cool:

The only thing special about the razor is it's chassis. The rest(vbs and racer x etc) are normal maxx part's.

...and the center diff.

Then, just forget about it and concentrate on my project, right?

It has kept many up for sleepless nights. Don't get yourself on that list.

There was actually a razor sold a few day's ago. But for you to get one anytime soon, I doubt it. Also if you plan to get one when they are out, start saving your penny's. It won't be cheap.

Okay. You surley seethed up my blood.:L:

I heard the whole roller would be $2500. :eek:

2500....2500.....but its a complete roller, correct? everything is there already, but then again...2500 is a bit of a pain.

I think he should try getting them produced in one of the industrial intense countries, such as China, he would cut costs loads than doing them in the US.

$2500 is too much hopefully the main chassis will be alot less but you can probably work that out, as everything else is already on sale, just detuct it from 2.5k.

Home made parts are always the best. China would cut the costs, but you will not find the lovely finishing and flavour of UE anymore.

Can't you see what Robin is doing? He doesn't want a full production razor. Only a few will be made. Like an original, limited edition, high quality truggy.

Forget it...forget it...forget it........FOR..GET IIIIIIIIIIIIIT

@Sneeck;

that's about the idea i had too...

Same as with the BPP truck..

I

Therefor he can charge rediculous prices and people will buy them. Makes sense.

can an1 explain to me what the razoback actually is? Is it a chassis for the revo? but it uses tmaxx suspension....

Or is it a new chassis for the t-maxx that is better then the dace predator?

And hes including a custom made tranny in this too right.

The razorback is a truggy. several years in the making.

for which chassis? or it is its own car with all UE parts?

It is a ue chassis. uses maxx style parts.

It's meant for nitro, and for the UE VBS system.

it's the mother of all truggies.

ah but 2000$ a set for a person that not a pure racer isnt worth it for me.

im pretty sure 2k is for the roller with ue vbs and racer x suspension from what i have heard. which isnt THAT expensive.

i dunno. Still its 1000 pounds which is quite a bit.

I saw two on ebay a couple of weeks ago and the but it now price was $2500
